The road to these grounds should be improved for next season and the public given chance to enjoy what migh be made pleasant feature of the vest shore.
 Some time ago scheme was proposed of digging a channel to extend from the shore short distance out, thus enabling small boats to land along the beach even at loW tloe. The idea has been talked of again quite recently, although nothing asYyet has been developed in the matter. Such an im- provement would be quite pleasant, and during the bright moonlight evenings shore residents and visitors might enjoy pleasant sal on the Sound withous tramping out to
 
 boat. There would be, however, some diff cultp 1n Keeping channel so nesr the shore In good condition, as the sand would certain- ly enter. The plan is receiving considerable attention among shore dwellers.
